The seal, carved from a piece of
golden quartz, is rectangular in form
with cut-off corners, and mounted in
a silver frame decorated with
turquoise stones. A handle is
attached to the top of the frame. The
die shows the Polish Slepovron
coat-of-arms (a crow perched on a
horseshoe with a ring in its beak)
encircled by trophies. Such a
depiction was typical of the heraldic
seals of the nobility living in the
western and south-western regions
of Russia at the end of the 18th and
the beginning of the 19th centuries.
